Oakville yaht club or shipyard marina is only 3 exits past bronte. take Dorval rd. to lake shore turn left....then turn right at the barricade for bridge out. Forsthye st ???? then left down the hill.
get there early or you will have to park further away, and walk back to launch

Canada day we left from 50 point conservation area, south of fishermens pier, very good facilities there, store, restaurant washrooms etc.
a little on the expense side though $25.00

14 bucks to launch at Fishermens pier.

I think that the lift bridge will be closed this weekend so if you are coming from London take the Lincoln Alexander to the Red Hill to QEW Toronto bound. Exit onto Eastport just before the Skyway and go right at the end of the ramp. The entrance to Fishermans is on the left, just before the lift bridge.

Looks like the closure is delayed by two weeks and it's on weekdays only - http://www.newswire.ca/news-release...e---overnight-closures-delayed-634111533.html

403 to Bronte road. go down to lake shore turn left and go all the way to 16 mile creek. you cant miss it the road is closed they are rebuilding the bridge. the ramp is free but I believe you have to pay to park. when you go as far as you can at the light turn right. Ill be there around 4.30

Ended up with nine and lost 4. 50' down in 170' - 220' foe straight out of Fisherman's Pier. Biggest one was 18lbs - biggest fish I ever caught not on a charter. Both riggers and leadcore worked, using orange and white spoons recommended by the boys at Angling Outfitters. Great day.
